It's a sunny day in Germany, but.....

Tom's so sick he can't get out of bed. That means no top down drive in the Miata today. Since I can't go out, I've been checking out some "old" photos. If you call two years ago old. I found a photo taken in 2008 a few weeks after I got the Miata. It was taken in front of our House in Texas. My hair is longer and lighter now. The Miata is the same beautiful little "rocking jukebox on wheels".

Why I hate Red Heart Yarn

Maybe I'm spoiled by the European yarn, but I will never buy Red Heart yarn again.  Here's why!  It had over 5 ends, so I ended up with 5 balls of yarn, 2 of which were less than 3 feet long.  If I hadn't need the brown yarn to finish a project, I would have thrown the entire mess in the trash.  That's where it will go when I finish the project (winnie pooh hunny pot).

 

I'm back to teaching

I'd forgotten how much I loved to teach knitting.  A young co-worker asked me to teach her to knit as she loved the things I sometimes bring or wear to work.  As always I took a photo of her hands.  If she keeps on learning this quickly, she may be as great a student as my best ever student (M) in Texas.

USA here I come

For the past few months I've been homesick for the USA.  Could be the weather here is depressing.  Anyway, I got leave approved at work, and I purchased my plane tickets.  Going home to visit family for a MONTH!!!  The whole month of May, I'll be stateside.

The tickets cost a fortune and sure cut into my "spending" money.  Guess I'll have to spend less at Coldwater Creek.

I'm back to knitting

I received some of my knitting purchases this week.  YarnMarket.com is now my new best friend (don't worry Lucy you'll alwas be my real best friend).  I ordered this on 18 March Feb and less that 2 weeks later I got my package.  I love the yarn, Rowan Felted Tweed Aran (50% merino, 25% alpaca, 25% viscose)  I'm knitting it in  "heather" , a lovely shade of green and the yarn is soft to the touch.  Should make a great vest.





The vest comes from this mag.
